Dictation.-Queen Elizabeth was five-and-twenty years of age when she rode through the streets of London, from the Tower to Westminster Abbey, to be crowned. Her countenance was strongly marked, but on the whole, commanding and dignified. Her hair was red, and her nose something too long and sharp for a woman's. She was clever, but cunning and deceitful.-Charles Dickens. lar'ynx an'kle tra'ehe a mus täche' cor'pus cle scap'u la mem'brane ep i der'mis car ti lage tym'pa num Dictation.
